  • This is the area where I was born and lived till I was 10. Many things have changed but the beauty is endless. I still love it there and the people are precious.

  • Hi Bill and Kay! I havent gotten to look at all of your albums yet, but the ones I've seen so far are just great. I'm from WV originally, and don't get to go back very often. Looking at your pictures is like a visit home. Thank you so much!

  • Hi Kay & Bill! Beautiful scenery!!!! This must BE heaven! Shhhhh, don't tell anyone from Oregon I said that! I love all the perspectives but #10 is one of my favs. I just have one question....why is one of the oldest rivers in the world call New River??? Was there a slip up??? And I must know, are Mark and Pam still together??? What is Jess 2002 up to these days??? Got any photo trips planned, it must surely be spring in heaven by now!!!!! Thanks for all the terrific guestbook entries:-)))) Hope you two are doing great! Hugs! Jane

  • Wow! These are really good photos. It is amazing how many great scenes can be made from the same subject with different angles and viewpoints. Also thanks for your post in my Red Cliffs album. Paul.

  • Hi Kay and Bill. Strolling through more of your fabulous photos! Love the bridges. Thank you for your generious comments in my albums. I relayed your comments to Rausha (our cat) and she just looked at me with an "I know I'm beautiful look" and layed her head back down. Many people tell her that and I think it has gone to her head! Haha! She's the best cat. She is unique in regards to her back talk and obedience. She'll comply with our commands but she complains (meows and chatters) while she is following through. She's also vey protective of me. In fact, my husband refers to her as my "guard dog." She is 8 yrs old and we hope to have many more yrs with her. Looking foward to viewing more of your albums when time permits. God Bless. Cheryl

  • Hello Kay and Bill, I believe you two have the most unique albums on Webshots! This is another great album, some beautiful shots and all are very interesting photos! I would have taken maybe two shots of this bridge and gone on, but you are so thorough and that is a marvelous thing! Kay, I almost fell off my chair when I read you hope to take spectacular photos like I do some day! That is so very funny, I am such an amateur and you guys have just fabulous photos, if I was a jealous type, I would be green with envy! Candy
